Title-Rapid Risk Management Consults: How Real Time Risk Mitigation Can Increase Teamwork and Transparency, Promote Resiliency, and Decrease Complaints + Lawsuits.

Risk Management in today’s environment requires transition to the proactive approach of “in the moment” identification, mitigation and remediation of clinical risk before the patient leaves the healthcare setting. This presentation will demonstrate the benefit and results of real time Rapid Risk Consults. Risk specialists work closely with nursing leaders and front line staff to share information about near miss/adverse events and other risks. This builds alliances, teamwork and increased organizational transparency. Staff are able to concentrate on clinical care thereby reducing compassion fatigue. Communication miscues are reduced, and the number, frequency, and severity of patient complaints and lawsuits decreases. Resiliency builds.
